U+10605 "𐘅" Linear A Sign Ab006 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10605 "𐘅" Linear A Sign Ab006 is a symbol from the ancient Linear A script, which was used on the island of Crete during the Minoan civilization, primarily from roughly 1800 to 1450 BCE. This particular sign, cataloged as AB006 in scholarly classifications, represents a syllabic value that remains undeciphered, as Linear A has not yet been fully translated and does not correspond to any known language. The character appears in administrative and religious inscriptions on clay tablets and other artifacts, where it likely denotes a specific syllable or word part, but its exact phonetic or semantic meaning is still unknown to researchers. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard helps preserve and facilitate digital study of this rare script, highlighting both its historical significance and the ongoing mystery surrounding Minoan writing.
